Detailed Description

APIs for the Occlusion system. \experimental This is an experimental API which may be modified or removed without any prior notice.

Shared Object:

• perception.magicleap*

• The Occlusion system is for generating a mesh representation of the near field objects, so they can be easily used for occlusion of in-app objects for greater immersion.

• By default occlusion system generates the mesh representation of the near field objects at 5Hz. When MLOcclusionSettings::max_distance is set to be less or equal to 0.9m the mesh is generated at 30Hz.

MLOcclusionUpdateSettings

MLResult MLOcclusionUpdateSettings(
    MLHandle handle,
    const MLOcclusionSettings * settings
)

Update the occlusion settings at runtime.

Parameters

MLHandle	handle	The handle to the created client.
const MLOcclusionSettings *	settings	The updated settings to be used for occlusion.

MLOcclusionGetLatestMesh

MLResult MLOcclusionGetLatestMesh(
    MLHandle handle,
    const MLOcclusionMeshQuery * mesh_query,
    MLOcclusionMesh * out_mesh_data
)

Get the latest occlusion mesh.

Parameters

MLHandle	handle	The handle to the created client.
const MLOcclusionMeshQuery *	mesh_query	The pointer to intialized MLOcclusionMeshQuery struct.
MLOcclusionMesh *	out_mesh_data	The pointer to intialized MLOcclusionMesh struct.

Returns

MLResult	MLResult_IllegalState	Current mesh must be released before acquiring the next one.
MLResult	MLResult_InvalidParam	Mesh data was not returned due to an invalid parameter.
MLResult	MLResult_Ok	Mesh data was returned successfully.
MLResult	MLResult_PerceptionSystemNotStarted	Perception System has not been started.

Required Permissions:

• None

Returns MLOcclusionMesh with its latest data. When doing consecutive calls and there was no mesh update, the same data will be returned. The memory is owned by the system. Application should copy the data it needs to cache.

Every call to MLOcclusionGetLatestMesh() must be followed by a matching call to MLOcclusionReleaseMesh(), otherwise this method will return an error.

API Level:

• 28

---

MLOcclusionReleaseMesh

MLResult MLOcclusionReleaseMesh(
    MLHandle handle,
    MLOcclusionMesh * mesh_data
)

Releases specified MLOcclusionMesh object.

Parameters

MLHandle	handle	The handle to the created client.
MLOcclusionMesh *	mesh_data	Pointer to a filled MLOcclusionMesh struct.

Returns

MLResult	MLResult_InvalidParam	One of the parameters is invalid.
MLResult	MLResult_Ok	Successfully released mesh data.
MLResult	MLResult_UnspecifiedFailure	Failed due to an internal error.

Required Permissions:

• None

This function should be called exactly once for each call to MLOcclusionGetLatestMesh(). After a successful call, the contents of #mesh_data are no longer valid and should not be used.

• 28
